Populace Provided Information:

For those of you who never had the pleasure of knowing William Blackfox, he was an amazing man , talented in many fields, and he could always see the funny side of anything . I've been a manic depressive most of my life, but to be honest, I firmly believe that no one could be near Blackfox for more than a few minutes and still be depressed. William Blackfox was just that kind of person. I miss him still. : ( - Arthur Blackmoon, Barony of Northkeep



'WILLIAM BLACKFOX
The pipes are stilled, no longer will they sound,
To herald the beginning of a court,
No more with joy will revels now abound,
Nor will his voice of songs raise in support.

The quill laid down will not be used again,
To tell Warthaven's tale in simple frames,
No longer at his wit shall we all grin,
Nor smile at his parodies of names.

Such a great soul gone, in but a blink,
And we are left to mourn in sorrow deep,
And though to his fond memory I'll drink,
For now I can do nothing else but weep.

Oh William, it was too soon to depart,
We who remain will hold you in our hearts.

- Master Chidiock the Younger
